POTUS Trump may have (inadvertently) offered a life line to struggling UK universities.... after attacks on major US universities, there's has been a leap in US-based interest in UK degree programmes.... much higher than similar rises in enquiries for other English speaking countries.
Given there is little move to change the UK university business model, dependent as it is on income from non-UK students, this is good news, at least for those that can attract US students.
